Standardized Patients for FSU Med Students

Florida State University is looking for a few good men and women. The College of Medicine is looking to fill its new simulated clinic with standardized patients, basically people who are willing to "play sick" for a small paycheck.

This new state of the art facility is a simulated clinic where first and second year FSU medical students can learn clinical skills.

Sarah Sherraden, director of the Clinical Learning Center, says, “Everything from taking medical histories, communicating with the patient and listen to heart, lungs.”

And their patients are known as standardized patients who have been trained to play the part of a sick person.
